Beyond irritated.

I have constant buffering problems on the app. At home, at work, everywhere. I know the automatic response is going to be “It’s your connection.”, but it isn’t. It’s not a WiFi issue, because Podbean is the ONLY issue I have on my phone. The worst thing is that if I have to pause a long podcast, I know when I go back to it that it will try to start where I left off but will never play. It just buffers. Right now, as I type this, I’ve been waiting for 15 minutes hoping that an episode of “Something to Wrestle” will start back up but it won’t. I’ll have to shut off and restart my phone just for the app to work again.

I liked the app at first but it has become absolute garbage in the last couple weeks. I’m never using Podbean, again.

Well, I had high hopes that the new update would fix the ‘Tucker Carlson Tonight’ podcast, which hasn’t worked for quite a good while. Unfortunately it is still not working..will not download or play at all. If you look at the comments on the podcast, you will see that others are complaining about this as well. I would appreciate it if you could look into this and get it back up and running again. Please and thank you.I received your email reply to my review, which stated: “Thanks for your feedback. We checked the ‘Tucker Carlson Tonight’ podcast. It is password-protected content. That's why you could not play it.”Ok...and the solution to the problem is...what??What do I have to do to have the right to make it play again, because it used to work for me just fine?? Thanks.

Good with a couple of minor flaws

This is a good podcasting app. It had almost all the features I need, including play lists, control over download activity and easy of podcast selection and discovery. However I am reducing the score for a couple of minor bit still annoying deficiencies. One is that the app does not act on interrupts (or however it works) when other apps use the audio outputs. I would like the app to pause the audio from downloaded podcast when other apps need the audio. Instead, our continues the audio at reduced volume as though it were streaming. Second is that the podcast titles remain in the playlist after being played. The file is deleted automatically, but I have to remove each title manually. Not a really big deal, but this should happen automatically.
